The Pyramid to Success
Preparing to take the NCLEX-RN® examination can produce a great deal of anxiety.
You may be thinking that this exam is the most important test you will ever have to
take and that it reflects the culmination of everything you have worked so hard for.
This is an important examination because receiving your nursing license means that
you can begin your career as a registered nurse. Your success on this exam involves
freeing yourself of all thoughts that allow this examination to appear overwhelming
and intimidating. Such thoughts can take complete control over your destiny. A
strong positive attitude, a structured plan for preparation, and maintaining control
in your pathway to success ensure reaching the peak of the Pyramid to Success (Fig.
2-1).
